Drenched Kahraman
Drenched Kahraman (#562A07) is a deep orange with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (27°, 85%, 18%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary azure. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English drencan, to give to drink — past-participle of drench. As a color modifier, drenched implies a hue saturated to its visual maximum without dilution, the deep-and-soaked quality of cloth fully absorbed by dye. Sits at the deep-and-saturated end of the grid, where the color reads as fully bathed by pigment.
The Persian and Arabic word for amber — borrowed from the Persian kāhrobā, straw-snatcher, for amber's static-electric property of attracting small particles. Used in Mughal and Ottoman rosaries, prayer beads, and ornamental beads since classical times. The color refers to polished Yemeni amber: a warm, slightly translucent gold-orange with the resinous depth of fossilized tree sap. The Eastern cousin of kohaku.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color sits well within the sRGB cube. P3 and sRGB share the gray axis and most desaturated tones, so a P3 display renders this identically to an sRGB display.
